cool stories

I like all the stories in this book; "Monkey's Paw," "The Phantom Coach," "The Fall of the House of Usher", and "The Judge's House." I felt this version of the stories were not as scary as the ones I have read. But it was scary enough as it was a windy day (the sounds of outside frightened me a lot.)
